It appeared that the prisoner had been a servant in the employ of Mrs. Jenkins, of George-street, and had availed himself of the confidence necessarily reposed in domestics, to plunder the premises at every opportunity. The police soon gained information of the prisoner's supposed villany. One afternoon he was stopped in Pitt-street, and searched upon the spot, when he was found to be laden with pieces of nankeen, as well as other property. Further search was made in the room in which he slept, and some more nankeen was found secreted in his bed. The property was satisfactorily proved to belong to Mrs. Jenkins, notwithstanding the unsupported assertion of the prisoner, who stated that he had purchased the articles of a man gone from the Colony, Guilty— 7 years transportation.
